Joint war games conducted by the U.S., British and Ukrainian militaries anticipated such losses but envisioned Kyiv accepting the casualties as the cost of piercing through Russia’s main defensive line, said U.S. and Western officials.

First time in forty years, ain’t that some shit

Friend of mine is a graphic designer interning at a custom t-shirt place. They have the interns do designs and then the interns get a portion of the sale whenever someone buys a shirt with their art.

Oh you like cars? Well guess what

I feel like I’ve been missing out a little until I remember what it’s like to argue with redditors

Went to Books A Million today cause I was at the mall with some friends. Did you know they still stock Alex Jones’ books?

Playing Baldur’s Gate and I feel like you were supposed to make your character hot. I’m surrounded by all these sexy party members and I’m a 3ft tall dwarf with a giant beard

Fuck is he doing political comics for? This is cool

Piracy being number 1 is pretty cool ngl

Document leak confirms that Imran Khan, former PM of Pakistan, was removed at the request of the US State Department

For reference, the US produced over 200 million shells per year in WWII and used almost all of them

It’s like a rite of passage to dislike one or two of the shows you used to love. My username is based on Ready Player One, which was the coolest book ever to middle school me :kermit-pain:
